Construction work along Highway 3 about five kilometres east of Fernie has caused traffic to be re-routed for part of the day on Thursday.
Mainroad East Kootenay said culvert maintenance work started at 6 a.m. and should be finished by 6 p.m.
In the meantime, you will have to take a detour around the construction site, which will likely add about five minutes to your travel time.
Drivers are asked to slow down and obey signs and traffic control.
